Best single pictorial image in the Irish Professional Photographers Awards

[Enda Cavanagh]

Hi All
I managed to win best single image recently in the Irish Professional Photographers Awards for one of my images of the old disused swimming baths around south county Dublin. I'm sure it's not to everyones tastes but it's one of my all time favorite images. I can tell you it took a long time to come to fruition.



I'm going to have an exhibition in October consisting of 11 different pieces in the series. I'm going to do them as 1.5m wide acrylics and one 2.725m wide acrylic. I can't wait to see that one I'll tell you.

Terry is right. Quite remarkable. I add my congratulations, too, and wish your exhibit were on this side of the pond so I could see it.

It seems a bit odd you can see the whole sun without the "sunbeams" touching the sun?

[Enda Cavanagh]

Oops
I had a few different versions of the jpg in one folder and I accidentally picked an old version. Thanks for spotting. I have added the most recent version. Ya the centre was very difficult to get right. I had to layer mask about 4 images on top of each other so you could see the star burst and get the detail in the concrete. For some reason there was a small gap as you said. (probably some error in the layer mask. The version on my website was already correct.

Very Nice!, i had a lul in  my landscape photography for about a year and a half and in this time i visited a lot of abandoned places in scotland. I was amazed at the textures
and great lighting situations you get in these places.

It's good fun having an explore and even better to get some good photographs out of it

Very impressive! Congrats!
